Here are the reasons I’m a bit split on this whole subject, in handy bullets:

-It feels weird talking about women’s bodies at all, as if they’re up for debate
-At the same time, the photos of Swanepoel were a bit shocking
-Moreover, shouldn’t we feel comfortable criticizing Victoria’s Secret if they’re constantly trying to define “sexy” and “beautiful” through their Angels, and then going and using women who work out for 2 hours a day and subsist on green juice and raw almonds?
-So I guess we should see Upton’s casting as a step in the right direction because she looks fit and lean and definitely not alarming
-That said, it’s not like Upton doesn’t look like a damn lingerie model

So. I don’t know if Victoria’s Secret casting some super hot teenager is going to balance out any frighteningly thin 22-year-olds they currently employ, but it’s… kind of… an improvement… right?
